Horst_In_Translation Review of Lego Atlantis

Lego Atlantis (2010 TV Movie)

Way down below the ocean, better stay there

[4/10 · 11 April 2018]

The title "Lego Atlantis" summarizes pretty well what this 2010 animated short film is about. It is a modern take on the old tale of the sunken city of Atlantis fit into slightly 20 minutes. Mark Baldo and Robert Henny came up witha little movie here that is not worse than most other Lego stuff in film, but honestly I am generally not a big fan of the animation style and also probably because I never really played with Lego myself, so I'd say that this tale (love the Donovan song) deserves better probably. The voice actors (e.g. Bruce Boxleitner and Seth MacFarlane's sister) weren't bad, but also not too great. The story is at its worst when they suddenly get in fart jokes about eating less beans. Oh well, this should tell you the general level of quality here. I cannot say I am impressed. There was not one component or production values that was at least slightly memorable to me. So as a consequence I'd only recommend this one to the very biggest fans of Lego animation style. Everybody else can and should skip this one and they won't be missing much. Thumbs-down.
